WHY WE CREATED S.A.S.S.
Team Practice Builds Teams.
This Build Athletes.
Most team practices are designed to prepare for the next game.
There simply isn’t enough time to focus on every player’s speed, movement, technical skills, decision-making, and athletic development.
There simply isn’t enough time to focus on every player’s speed, movement, technical skills, decision-making, and athletic development.
That’s where S.A.S.S. comes in.
We’ve combined elite performance training with elite soccer coaching into one complete athlete development system.
Every session is designed to help athletes move better, think faster, and perform with confidence when it matters most.
Every session is designed to help athletes move better, think faster, and perform with confidence when it matters most.
Two hours a week of focused individual development — one hour of performance training and one hour of soccer skills.
Speed. Agility. Strength. Skill. Decision-making. Confidence.
what makes s.a.s.s. different
Unlike traditional soccer training, every athlete develops both their physical performance and technical ability in one structured session.
Learn from a coach working with some of the highest-level youth players in the country every week.
Every session is designed to improve first touch, passing, dribbling, finishing, and ball mastery under pressure.
Players don’t just perform drills; they learn when, why, and how to use techniques in match situations.
More touches on the ball, more coaching, and individual attention than a typical team practice.
Develop composure, scanning, awareness, and confidence to make better decisions in games.
Every player receives coaching points and areas to continue working on outside of the session.
Every exercise has a clear objective that transfers directly into match performance.
See what happens when performance training and sport-specific development work together.
how the program works
Two Training Disciplines. One Complete Athlete.
Becoming a better soccer player requires more than technical skill.
Athletes need the physical ability to accelerate, change direction, produce power, and move efficiently—along with the technical skills and decision-making to use those abilities in the game.
That’s why S.A.S.S. combines two specialized areas of development:
Together: A faster, stronger, more skilled, more confident athlete.
